Sonic Ironstorm is the latest vertical shooter by DHC, developer of Demolition Gunner and the commercial project Vulkaiser. Much like their recent releases, four difficulty levels are included for the convenience of beginners and to offer a decent challenge for veterans as well.

Use the Z key to shoot, and press the X key to launch a missile. Collectibles marked S increases your shield count, while collecting items marked P upgrades your firepower in small increments. Three stages only.

You know what, I think this is SURELY one of the best new shmup entries that Astro Port (formerly Dark Hell Company) has ever produced for the 14th Official 3punge Competition... and the action here is as quite hot as ever, with the same shield and "MAXIMUM" system as their earlier game Demolition Gunner (which originally began as a 3-minute version for an earlier 3punge compo, coincidentally! ;) ), got that? ^-^=b !

And I have just uploaded a no-miss video of this new game to YouTube tonight, and you can see it at:
